Here's some additional information about the event, straight from the source:

Since 2003, the Birmingham
Originals have organized this grand fundraising event to not only celebrate the
South’s talented chefs and local farmers, but to give back to the community
that has supported them over the years. In an effort to continue pushing the
envelope and delighting the crowds, Break ’n Bread will once again play host to
four multi-award-winning chefs from out of the state. Chef Adolfo Garcia of
RioMar, La Boca and a Mano; Executive Chef Brian Landry of Borgne Restaurant;
and Chefs Alison and Slade Rushing of MiLa will helm the VIP area, serving up
Big Easy-inspired dishes with Big Easy attitude.

While food enthusiasts gather
at the tasting tents, just a few steps away will be a dedicated children’s area
featuring face painting with clowns from the Children’s Hospital of Alabama,
petting corner and entertainment from the Birmingham Zoo, healthy kids cooking
demonstrations, Desert Island Supply Company writing workshop and a pumpkin
decorating station. Local farmer’s market vendors will also be stationed in and
around the park, offering a variety of fresh produce and artisan products.
